- Fig. 8 is an exemplary flowchart for the operation of a coffee machine according to the invention.
- the present invention is a coffee machine, which is equipped as the semi-automatic with a removable portafilter.
- the device is equipped with a built-in grinder, which feeds the built-in filter holder - similar to a fully automatic machine - inside the machine from above with ground coffee.
- the filter holder is closed within the machine with a lid or with a piston and it is scalded like the semi-automatic.
- the emptying of the portafilter is done manually.
- the coffee machine takes its function therefore a middle position between a semi-automatic and a fully automatic machine and establishes a new class of coffee machines, which can be referred to as 3/4 machines.
- FIG. 1 a highly simplified scheme of a coffee machine according to an embodiment of the invention with inserted portafilter is shown before closing the portafilter.
- the coffee machine 10 whose outlines are only indicated by a dashed rectangle, has in the lower area a (also indicated only by dashed lines) holder 12, in which a filter holder 1 1 can be removed removably.
- the portafilter 1 1 inserted into the holder 12 has an upwardly open, substantially cylindrical brewing chamber 15, which - as shown in Fig. 3-6 - in a conventional manner downwards through a brewing screen 17th is limited, followed by the down to an outlet with an outlet opening 14.
- the portafilter 1 1 has on the outside devices which cooperate with the holder 12 and allow the portafilter 1 1 in the holder 12, e.g. in the manner of a bayonet lock, can be used and held there.
- the portafilter 1 1 is equipped for easier handling in a conventional manner with a laterally projecting handle 13.
- a portafilter lock 18 may additionally be attached, which prevents in the activated state that the portafilter 1 1 can be removed from the holder 12, and which is deactivated (released) when the brewing process is completed and the portafilter first 1 is reopened inside the machine. But it is also conceivable, instead of or in addition to the portafilter lock 18 to provide a visual indication that indicates when the portafilter 1 1 is opened again and thus ready to take.
- a coffee grinder 19 is integrated, which for example has a (funnel-shaped) bean container 20 for the coffee beans, which is arranged directly above a grinder 21, which is driven by a drive motor 22. From the grinder 21 emerges laterally (in Fig. 1 right) from the ground coffee grind 16 and is particularly simple in the example shown (by gravity) via a chute 23 in the in the holding 12 inserted, still open portafilter 1 1 promoted.
- the chute 23 may be designed to be pivotable in order to convey the ground coffee 16 securely into the portafilter 11 in one position, and to allow unhindered closing of the portafilter 11 in another, pivoted-back position (see FIG. 2). Other mechanisms for the transport of the ground coffee 16 are also conceivable.
- a distributor screen element 33 is arranged in the manner of a piston, which by means of a drive unit 32 in the vertical direction between the retracted position shown in FIG. 1 and the in FIG 2 described closure position can be moved.
- the distributor screen element 33 closes the brewing chamber 15 in the filter holder 1 1 used in the closed position, compacts ("tampers") the ground coffee 16 initially present in the filter holder 11 in loose form, and allows the supply of pressurized water via a 3) located at the bottom of the distribution screen element 33.
- a distributor space 35 into which hot water via a feed bore 37 from a hot water connection 38 a built-in boiler 28 can be introduced.
- the boiler (hot water heater) 28 is hydraulically connected to the distributor screen element 33 and connected via a pump 31 to a cold water connection 29.
- the water in the boiler 28 is heated by means of a (not shown in the figure) built-in heater (eg, a resistance heater) and then during the brewing process under pressure (brewing pressure) in the Verteilersieb element 33, where it passes through the distributor screen 34 via the Area evenly distributed in the brewing chamber 15 enters, there flows through the coffee grounds 16 and exits through the brewing sieve 17 down again and is discharged through the outlet opening 14 to the outside.
- the necessary brewing pressure is generated by pumping cold water by means of the pump 31.
- the hot water outlet of the boiler 28 is preferably connected via a flexible hose to the Verteilersieb- element 33 to allow its necessary freedom of movement in the vertical direction. It is of course also conceivable in this context, instead of the boiler 28 to use a water heater, which heats the water directly on the way to Verteilersieb element 33.
- a central controller 24 is provided in the coffee machine 10, which is connected to a display / control unit 25.
- the display / control unit 25 has keys 26 which may be provided, for example, for starting and stopping the brewing process and / or for inputting parameters (amount of water, cup size, type of beverage, etc.) and / or for controlling optical displays.
- optical displays 27 in the form of signal lamps and / or alphanumeric displays can be present, which provide information about the status of the machine, serve the user guidance and / or display stored operating values (output number of cups, etc.) in a memory of the controller 24.
- individual brewing programs can be entered via the display / operating unit 25, stored in the memory of the controller 24 and retrieved as needed.
- the controller 24 controls (and monitors) in particular the heater in the boiler 28, the pump 31, the electric motor or hydraulic drive unit 32 of the distributor screen element 33 and the coffee grinder 19. If a portafilter lock 18 is present, this is also with the controller 24 connected.
- a controlled drive is not necessary if the chute 23 is mechanically coupled via a mechanism with the Verteilersieb element 33 and the drive unit 32 so that when shutting down the Verteilersieb element 33 in the portafilter 1 1 the Chute 23 simultaneously pivots outwards.
- Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of FIG. 1 after immersing the Verteilersieb- element 33 in the portafilter 1 1 and the simultaneous swinging out of the chute 23.
- the compacted (amber) coffee grounds 16 is located directly between the distributor screen 34 of the Verteilersieb element 33rd and the brewing sieve 17 of the portafilter 11. In this state, the pressurized hot water can be pressed through the distributor wire 34 by the ground coffee 16 and removed via the brewing sieve 17 downwards at the outlet opening 14 of the portafilter 11 as a coffee beverage.
- the brewing space 15 lying between the sieves 17 and 34 must be closed to the outside in a pressure-tight manner with the ground coffee 16 located therein.
- various options are available, which will be explained below in connection with FIGS. 3-6.
- FIG. 3 shows an enlarged detail view of the portafilter 11 of FIG. 1.
- a Verteilersieb element 33a is inserted in the manner of a lid, which is equipped with an axially acting seal 36 and coming from above on an upper annular end face of the portafilter 1 1 in the manner of a flange seal sealingly .
- the distribution screen element 33a may be designed in terms of its shape so that it dips simultaneously with its distribution screen 34 in the portafilter 1 1 or brewing chamber 15 and that compressed in the brewing chamber 15 ground coffee 16 compresses to a certain extent. The degree of compression depends on the amount of filled coffee powder 16. With a constant amount of the ground coffee 16, the compression can not be changed because the end position of the distributor screen 34 is predetermined.
- the distributor screen element 33d has a two-part construction with an inner part 47a enclosing a distributor space 35 with distribution screen 34 and an outer part 47b which is movable in the closing direction relative to the inner part 47a.
- the inner part 47a tapers upwards to form a cone section 40, on which a seal 36 rests on the outside.
- the outer part 47b is bell-shaped over the tapered portion of the inner part 47a and pushes with its lower edge on the seal 36 when it is moved relative to the inner part 47a down. The seal 36 is thus spread sealingly when closing.
- a much greater flexibility in tamping can be achieved by a configuration of the Verteilersieb element, as shown in Fig. 4.
- the local Verteilersieb element 33b immersed when closing the portafilter 1 1 in the manner of a freely displaceable piston in the portafilter 1 1, wherein the seal is achieved by a radially acting seal 36.
- the ground coffee 16 can be compressed without geometric limitation, provided that the necessary forces are applied to the associated piston rod 39.
- a seal 48 can be used according to FIG. 4a, which is inflated after taking the end position of the piston and thereby reaches its full sealing effect.
- an electromotive or hydraulically operating drive unit 32 is provided for moving the Verteilersieb- element 33 or 33a-d between the two end positions.
- a manually operated lever mechanism for the method of the distributor screen element.
- FIG. 7. An example of this is shown in FIG. 7. give.
- the second piston 41 which can slide sealingly in the distributor screen element 33e by means of a seal 49, makes it possible to use the actuating lever 45 to press hot water under pressure through the distributor screen 34 into the brewing chamber.
- the Verteilersieb- element 33e is first manually operated retracted into the portafilter 1 1 to tampern the ground coffee 16.
- the second piston 41 can be pulled out of the Verteilersieb- element 33e so far that hot water (pressure-less) can be introduced into the enlarged distribution chamber 35 via the inlet bore 37.
- the introduced hot water can be pressed by inserting the second piston 41 into the distributor screen element 33e through the brewing chamber 15 and the ground coffee 16 located therein. In this way, the mechanics can be simplified and the operator has the opportunity to choose the pressure used during tamping pressure at his discretion and vary.
- the process begins with the insertion of the empty portafilter 1 1 in the space provided holder 12 on the coffee machine 10. After insertion, the required predetermined amount of coffee is ground and filled in the filter holder used. Subsequently, the portafilter 1 1 with the ground coffee 16 therein is sealed pressure-tight. sen. This process may be accompanied by the tamping of the ground coffee. Thereafter, the actual brewing process is carried out by pressing hot water under pressure through the ground coffee in the filter holder 1 1. Once the brewing process has ended, the filter holder 11 can be removed from the holder 12 and taught by knocking out the coffee grounds and optionally cleaned. In addition, optionally, a machine-internal Spühlvorgang be provided for the Verteilersieb element in which the distribution screen is freed of possibly adhering coffee powder residues.
